On the Outside the Lines episode concerning NBA officials about a month ago, there was a segment in which they discussed officials getting in to good position to make calls. In particular they showed a replay of a lead official rotating to the strong side and making a good foul call that he would have likely missed from the weakside.
In the few 3 whistle games I've ran, I always try to get strong side and work even harder at it when there is alot of post play. Its just too easy to get straight-lined w/o making the rotation. The one thing I avoid though is just running back and forth aimlessly. I've seen cheerleaders and fans (in poorly managed gyms) get caught in the lane and get ploughed over, OOB of course while going from one side of the gym to the other. I try to avoid being behind the lane as much as possible.
